The same is the "Great Depression" - look at how the Americans lived in the past.

This movie was better than I expected. Because to the Chinese, this story took place in the very distant "Great Depression" period of the United States, which is absolutely wonderful.

It is awe-inspiring that, if this story is true, it at least reflects the spirit of Americans, a generation of Americans, who came together to overcome difficulties. A Cornell veterinary student who is willing to put down his equipment and live in a mobile circus, picking up dung for animals in order to survive. When you see the movie, you won't think that this is a fabricated positive image. You can really feel the mental strength of the previous generation of Americans, the personal strength of the previous generation, and the spiritual power of working hard with both feet on the ground in the face of difficulties. , which is awe-inspiring. Compared with today's young people, whether it is us or the old beauty, they are probably a group of suckers.

In addition, I feel that the rhythm of the story is well grasped and the climax is repeated many times. The connotation of the story is enriched by the image of the villain No. 2, the character of the circus owner who, during the Great Depression, loves his wife both brutally and lonely. His foil makes this story not a simple "little three" story at all.
